MUSC medical center and the National Association of Healthcare Transport Management recognizes National Patient Transport Week, Nov. 3 to 9.

As the hardworking “feet” of Rutledge Tower, Children’s Hospital, University Hospital, Clinical Sciences Building, Hollings Cancer Center and the Ashley River Tower, the internal hospital patient transporters move approximately 120,000 patients a year and support patient transport services seven days a week.

Tyler Nance, Business Operations & Support Services manager, works closely with the 37-member team. “Each one is a pivotal member of the patient care team and support patient flow at MUSC. I truly hope everyone will join me in recognizing and celebrating their tireless efforts to provide great patient care, day in and day out.”
